How many stereotypical male tech nerds flocked to GoDaddy after hiring Danika as "spokes" model. Did she ever speak? Glorified booth babe is more like it. After that, every non-tech dude would remember those commercials. Of course they are popular, of course for the wrong reasons. It goes to show exactly how well advertising campaigns work.

People who base their technical decisions on considerations like that likely deserve the level of service GoDaddy provides :(

Sortof? [0]. All the commercials I saw [1] were just meant to get guys to visit their site so the speaking was just for fun. The later fake body-building commercials [2] were unusual.
